Brechin City prepare to entertain Raith Rovers at Glebe Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 6 of the 28 games played, and losing 15.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Glebe Park was less than a year ago, in March 2007, with Raith Rovers inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the The City in a Scottish Division Two match.
